LEBANON's national carrier, Middle East Airlines, has taken delivery of its first A330-200 aircraft directly purchased from Airbus. The aircraft was handed over to Mohamad El-Hout, chairman and director general, MEA, by Habib Fekih, president, Airbus Middle East, in a delivery ceremony in Toulouse.
The aircraft is part of an order for four Airbus A330-200s placed in 2006 to replace an existing fleet of three leased A330s.
"This is the first A330-200 being delivered to MEA with a new livery reflecting the Lebanese flag. With its efficient fuel economy and passenger comfort, the A330-200 will enable MEA to meet and respond to the rising demand for passenger services between Lebanon, the middle East, Africa and Europe," said El-Hout.
